What would work-

modify the template that is used to GENERATE the photo album, so that the
pages that are created are child pages of a template.

this google groups search should bring several posts about this made years
agao i think.

http://groups.google.com/groups?q=dreamweaver+blu+photo+album+template

the short version-
Find where the templates for the creation of the photo albums are kept.
Duplicate the folder of the one you want to modify so you don't destroy the
original files.

edit the page to add the html comments that would be in a dreamweaver child
page. Do NOT insert the html comments that are in a .dwt template file- you
want to generate child pages.

then, modify a copy of the file, inserting the .dwt template html comments
in the proper places, and place it in this site's Template folder. Make all
the paths for any images used in the .dwt correct from this location in the
Templates folder to where the images actually are, in the generated photo
album folder. Otherwise, you'll break all those paths.

You can also create your own page to be the basis of generating a photo
album, just study the syntax for the existing ones

A suggestion - in the future when you post, please try to use a more
descriptive subject line. Perhaps in this case you might have considered
"Create Template from Photoalbum" or something similar. This is a big help
for others searching for their own answers, and to us when scanning subjects
looking for areas of expertise. You can't imagine how many other posts are
made with exactly the same subject as you have used here....
